Locksmith - Koolio lyrics

[Verse 1] Look, they say the hood got a d**h wish They say the cops got a fresh list They say we suffering from deafness But corporations see us all as investments I say the truth takes precedent But if you talk about God they act hesitant But if you talk about love then you're a specimen Cite them all and they use it to your detriment Everything is personal, nothing is irreversible Cla**rooms are dead, but every week the church is full That's how they funnel out the poorest Another ceremony for the florist Force us to sleep, you swimming out of the deep And trying to extend the lifestyle you seek Reaching for the carrot, in front of you, they dangle You better find another angle [Hook] You good? You cool? And I ain't gon' sit and say what you want to hear I'mma just keep coming in front of here I ain't gon' sit and say what you want to hear I'mma just keep coming in front of here [Dave Chappelle] And white people be like, "Oh my God, Honey did you see this? Apparently the cops have been beating up negros like hot cakes. It's in the main issue." [Verse 2] Yeah, but if you call them a racist they call you a racist That's baseless, no words that you know The rapist can not judge the rapee Morally he's in no position to do so If you spoke out of term, the term is terminate A permanent hot bed with germs can permeate A platform that lacks form, and every black born in the state of duress is that torn But I'm scorned if I speak out, nobody will reach out What about the sh** that teachers don't teach 'bout I want a family of five with a beach house, but the stains from the past ain't easily bleached out So if it ain't 'bout the clout, then it's probably 'bout the cash If it ain't 'bout the race, then it's probably 'bout the cla** They separating us one way or another That's your angle? You better find another [Hook] You good? You cool? And I ain't gon' sit and say what you want to hear I'mma just keep coming in front of here I ain't gon' sit and say what you want to hear I'mma just keep coming in front of here [Dave Chappelle] I saw this once when I was a rookie. Apparently this n***a broke in and hung up pictures of his family everywhere. Well... let's sprinkle some crack on him and get out of here
